Does the shelter you work with have any rules that you must follow before you can rescue an animal? I foster pups for a local group and our local kill shelter has rules which I find odd. Here are the rules we have to follow.

Once a dog is tagged for rescue it has to be out of the shelter for 10 days at a foster home before it can travel to the rescue. Once a dog is tagged for rescue it only has 5 days to be placed in a foster home. If not placed in a foster home after 5 days it goes to the top of the kill list. Does your shelter have ridiculous rules like these? I fail to see why a dog can't travel directly from the shelter to a rescue group.

Our local kill shelter is mired in politics and people who think they are more important that they really are. We do have a very good network of fosters, rescue groups and a travel network though.
